[Roadsters] my Brakes don't feel right‏

[Dan Kroninger]

I appologize if this comes out several times.  Aparently I am having issues sending to the list.  (read - computer illiterate)

 

Dave,
 
I got a set of Speed Bleeders for my brakes.  They are amazing!  I have never bled brakes before, so I don't have a reference, but I have heard a lot of horror stories.  Once installed (30 mins) it took me no more than 30 more mins to bleed the system by myself.  
 
There is a link to their site with all the size info on 311s.org in the wiki section under general brake info.  I was told that the bleeders will also fit the master, but I did not try it.  They ship out of IL if I remember correctly, so they got here pretty quick, I am in WI.  Just watch out doing the front brakes, you have to remove the ball that is under the stock bleeder in order for the new ones to fit.  I magnetized a screw driver to reach the ball.
 
I also replaced the fluid and front pads and have great pedal response now!  I have not put on the brace yet, but I am thinking about it now after this email chain.
 
Dan
